Co-digestion of fruits and vegetable waste (FVW) with palm oil mill effluent (POME) for biogas production

Biogas is one of the most important sources of renewable energy and considered as an environmental friendly energy source. In this research, biogas produce from fruit and vegetable wastes (FVW) co-digest with palm oil mill effluent (POME). Biomethane Potential (BMP) Test, and quality improving effec...
